A new use for Linux

[Bazooka Joe]

Are there any tools for recovering files in ext3 file system?

I recently deleted a old backup of a quickbooks file (which is binary
i believe) on a linux file server.  It turns out that they had been
using the backup instead of the main copy for several months.  no
backup - (save the backup early and often lectures it was a stupid
move).
